00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:04.759
The views and opinions expressed by the
guests of Sasquatch Experience do not necessarily reflect

2
00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:08.960
the opinion of the host, sponsors, or affiliates of the Sasquatch Experience.

3
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:18.760
As always, listener discretion is advised. We got someone or something crawling around

4
00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:27.559
out here? Does a legend walk
among us working in the forests of our

5
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:34.200
world? Did you see what it
was? Was it a person or an

6
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:37.000
animal? Or I can't go?
Oh, I know as if my thunder

7
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:40.560
light came on and I get happened
to Glenn and see this thing running across

8
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:44.159
the yard A good fight man or
something looks like a man. I don't

9
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:53.079
know what it was. For over
fifteen years, we've talked with scientists,

10
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:59.640
researchers, investigators, and witnesses trying
to gain insight and truth around the existence

11
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:07.680
of this mysterious entity. Jesus quite
big, Karl Peel, Hello, get

12
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.840
somebody out here. What's going to
announce there? I thought of AMC is

13
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.280
about six foot nine. I don't
know. Is he announced there? Yeah?

14
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:19.480
I'm booking right aay? Oh,
okay, hang on, he's right?

15
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:23.120
Is he your yarn? Yeah?
God, he's big? Okay,

16
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:34.000
what's he doing in your yard.
We're going to join us as we continue

17
00:01:34.040 --> 00:02:00.239
into the investigation of the Sasquatch experience. And once again you're listening to the

18
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:06.599
Sasquatch Experience. On Monday, November
twenty seven, twenty twenty three. Happy

19
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:10.919
Belated Turkey Day to all those who
celebrated the United States version of Thanksgiving.

20
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:15.680
Gentlemen, it was good to talk
with you over the weekend and share our

21
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:22.840
Thanksgiving goodness. And here we are
what's becoming a routine Monday night for Sasquatch

22
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:27.759
experience Again about it? It seems
that way. Yeah, yeah, it's

23
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:31.280
a regular visitation. I guess we
want to get into your living room and

24
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:38.840
you know, share with you the
weird and anomalous bigfoot stuff, right anomalists,

25
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:44.919
Here we are. Let us see
here we are at the Annimal Studios.

26
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:47.520
Well I am, I am,
but we've got matted down there.

27
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:52.319
One two for the price of one. As Baker said before we went on

28
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:55.000
the air, you got full frontal
and wide angle, so you got all

29
00:02:55.080 --> 00:03:00.759
me whichever way you like me.
I'm there. It's also hunting Pennsylvania our

30
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:05.599
friends in the Keystone State, So
be careful out there and safe. Matt

31
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:08.159
so far, it's been pretty quiet
from any kind of injury reporting, So

32
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:13.199
that's a good thing this year so
far. That's always a good thing.

33
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:17.560
So just a quick update. I
was up in our area and we put

34
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:21.599
boots on the ground, you know, while we were out deer hunting.

35
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:27.319
The one thing I noticed is there's
far less people hunting this year than we

36
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:30.879
had in the past. And the
one thing is is they could be out

37
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:37.199
in the middle of nowhere on these
little forestry roads and basically i'd probably say

38
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:42.560
about half the people are just about
fifty two one hundred and fifty yards from

39
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:47.639
their vehicles. No one's going deep
down into these mountains, so there's plenty

40
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:53.319
of places there where people could be
both deer and other animals could be hidden

41
00:03:53.360 --> 00:04:00.280
away. And you know, people
just aren't walking through these wild areas anymore,

42
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:02.759
which is kind of a good thing. But you know, if you're

43
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:08.080
a hunter, i'd probably say,
you know, get down there and check

44
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:12.000
it out. Yeah. I guess
one of the things I've heard from many

45
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:15.800
folks that were out there this weekend, Matt was not a lot of success

46
00:04:15.839 --> 00:04:19.720
in getting which is you know,
could be problematic for us. You know,

47
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:24.720
come the end of the season,
and vehicle incidents end up becoming a

48
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:28.800
lot more prominent. Oh sure,
yea sad when you can hit one with

49
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:32.839
a truck better than you could shoot
one. Well, yeah, you know,

50
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:38.000
from time to time, these things
happen. We have Henry May back

51
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:40.199
with us this week. Guys,
Henry, how you doing, buddy.

52
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:44.959
I'm doing quite well a little chili, but I'm doing quite well. Thanks.

53
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:51.160
Oh chili. Yeah, he's forty
and here listen advance. It's thirty

54
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:56.120
one degrees there he said, that's
cold. Yeah, thirty one. Yeah,

55
00:04:56.120 --> 00:05:02.519
it's sixteen and getting colder. So
so last week, guys, we

56
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:08.720
talked about the fifty years of high
strangeness, right, the Bigfoot UFO flap

57
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:14.720
of the seventies, Westmoreland County,
Pennsylvania and other places around the United States,

58
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:18.879
things happening in Mississippi with UFOs,
things happening in Illinois, and interesting

59
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:24.839
enough, fans, both you and
James both mentioned the Murphy's Boro Big Muddy

60
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:29.600
Monster, right, the big Muddy
River Monster. And so I was like,

61
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:35.279
well, why don't we why don't
we get these folks together talk about

62
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:39.600
this, And since you and Baker, you know, kind of let us

63
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:42.639
down, this rabbit hole. Vance. You're an Illinois boy, why don't

64
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:48.279
you set the stage for us?
Well, Murphy's Borough, Illinois is in

65
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:56.720
southern central Illinois. Now, once
you get a lot of people, a

66
00:05:56.759 --> 00:06:01.120
lot of people think of Illinois is
yeah, it's flatland and Chicago. It's

67
00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:08.560
a perception that you get from It's
kind of the perception that a lot of

68
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:12.199
people get of Illinois. It's a
cornfield. And then you get the city

69
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:16.680
of Chicago. Once you get to
central and southern Illinois, extreme southern Illinois,

70
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:20.879
you start to get into the beginning
of the Ozarks at the Ohio and

71
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:27.439
Mississippi River, and it is a
lot of rural land in that area.

72
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:34.959
And Murphy's Borough is just south of
central Illinois, and I've been down that

73
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:41.759
way. There is just an extensive
forest lands through there, especially in the

74
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:46.319
Shawnee National Forest. And of course, back in seventy two and nineteen seventy

75
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:53.319
three came these reports out of Murphy's
Borough, just south of Murphy's Borough,

76
00:06:53.879 --> 00:07:00.000
but still in the province, of
a creature that seemed to be white haired

77
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:06.279
or a gray colored creature that was
coated in mud. And there was a

78
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:12.199
couple The story actually started out with
a couple that were kind of, you

79
00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:16.319
know, in a remote area and
having their private moments. Yeah, their

80
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:24.040
lover's lane, I said in the
news report last episode show. They were

81
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:28.959
not married, but yet they were
they were married to other people. Is

82
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:31.879
that relevant, No, it's not
really relevant, but yes, they were

83
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:39.360
kind of having their own little escapade
in this remote area where there was what

84
00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:47.839
seems to be a boat launch area
and they heard screaming around right, and

85
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:51.879
and smells coming from the vehicle they
heard. They heard, Yeah, they

86
00:07:51.959 --> 00:08:00.759
heard screaming. They heard screaming from
the woodline, and they both went a

87
00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:05.600
creature that was six to seven feet
tall, light hair in cover in color

88
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:13.199
and kind of impacted in mud,
which you know, I've seen videos of

89
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:20.920
Great Pyrenees dogs. They're pretty big
dogs. They're white colored haired, and

90
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:24.680
you know, they like to romp
around outside and they get mud on themselves

91
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:28.800
and dirty. That's kind of how
I pictured what it was that they were

92
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.759
trying to describe that there was a
lot of dirt and mud packed in the

93
00:08:31.799 --> 00:08:37.399
hair, and this thing approached the
car and they ended up fleeing the area

94
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:46.879
and made their police report with Officer
man warning and he investigated from there on

95
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:52.159
forward, and the story continues from
there on forward. But again, this

96
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:58.200
happened in nineteen seventy three. Yeah, and there's a lot of other attributes

97
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.200
to this, but I want want
to kind of focus on Big Muddy to

98
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:07.519
begin with, because Sean, you
did share the brief documentary on Big Muddy,

99
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:13.840
which I would invite all of our
listeners and watchers to go ahead to

100
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:20.440
YouTube and link into watching the documentary
on Big Muddy, because it is pretty

101
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:26.759
interesting on how many people saw this
creature and had the same relevance in their

102
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:33.840
reports to the original report and how
many that did actually come in. And

103
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:37.799
I found that kind of interesting within
itself. So there are a couple resources

104
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:41.600
I'm going to point our listeners to. There's a book out called The Big

105
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:46.519
Muddy Monster Legend, Sightings and Other
Encounters by Chad Lewis, Noah Vass,

106
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:52.000
and Kevin Lee Nelson that was done
by our friends that Beyond the Freight Publishing.

107
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:56.480
That's a great book on the subject. There's also a documentary out there

108
00:09:56.759 --> 00:10:01.360
that I did post for the for
the so they could check it out before

109
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:03.240
we came on and did this show. That's a good documentary. I don't

110
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:05.240
think you folks should sleep on it. I think you should go out and

111
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:11.960
check it out. What is a
creature of creature for Big Money? Yeah,

112
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:16.679
and that's done. That features the
hosts of the authors of the book

113
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:24.159
in the documentary as well. And
then if you're following along in the chat

114
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:28.639
room or the livestream, Baker posted
a link to Murphysboro dot com where you

115
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:33.919
can actually go and download the case
file of the Big Money Monster, which

116
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:37.399
is just it's it's amazing. It's
chock full of information. You can read

117
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:41.960
the police reports, which I think
is funny is and they're compiled in that

118
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:48.000
port and that report. They're out
of the sink. They're not chronological in

119
00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:52.320
terms of their dating right. But
also, Henry, before we go too

120
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:58.279
far into this, you and I
discovered something in tonight. Yes we did

121
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.840
out this tone right here, the
Historical Bigfoot by Chad Armott. If you

122
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:07.399
haven't checked it out, as Baker
says, you guys, get the full

123
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:13.039
frontal and the girth. Look at
the size of this book. That's no

124
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:24.080
job ages. But you you switch
over to page oh, you get into

125
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:28.600
the three nineties, you start getting
reports of what Henry, big Monster,

126
00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:35.080
Big Muddy Monster reports. They called
it the thing or the what's that coin?

127
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:41.879
Is that the town du Kwan?
Wow? That's uh good question.

128
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:48.240
I can't pronounce it outside of yeah, outside of Murphy's Burrow, and I

129
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:52.480
can't give you any more. Right, Carbondale kind of tied in with the

130
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:58.080
police officer that was a canine trainer
that brought the dog down into Murphy's Burrow

131
00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:03.600
and the canine just you know,
it picked up the scent. It started

132
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:07.200
to follow the scent all the way
up to an abandoned barn, and once

133
00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:13.399
it got to the barn, it
absolutely refused to go anywhere into the barn.

134
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:18.679
And so Officer man Warning, who
was heading this investigation, you know,

135
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:22.279
ended up going into the barn with
the flashlight and looked around with the

136
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:26.919
flashlight, did not see anything at
the time, and then he evacuated the

137
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:33.240
area. But there were photographs taken
of strange footprints outside of the barn area.

138
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:37.759
Go ahead, James, did you
want to say something, Baker,

139
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:39.919
did you want to say something?
Well, it's it's just very unique that

140
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:43.759
this particular creature there were there are
parts of the story that I noticed that

141
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:50.440
really stuck out to me. Was
is that one the albino ness is I

142
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:52.639
guess a phrase I'm going to use, because it was it was mainly white,

143
00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:58.480
and the fact that in a wooded
area a whiter creature would stick out

144
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:01.480
more. But then in a way, if you look at all the reports,

145
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:05.120
most of them were saying that it
covered itself with mud, So I

146
00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:09.039
wonder if that was a defensive thing, you know, when it went out

147
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:13.559
of its direct area to try to
cut down on all the white. The

148
00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:16.799
other thing I noticed was is when
you read the reports, and you read

149
00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:22.720
a lot of the you watch the
videos, this creature seemed more aggressive a

150
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:28.519
lot of times when you see you
hear the Bigfoot stories and we and I'll

151
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:31.960
look back to this in a minute, but like a lot of times when

152
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:35.320
we have these conversations about the Bigfoot
stories, there's curiosity, there's food wanting,

153
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:39.159
there's things like that. A lot
of these people were like, I

154
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:43.320
had a really uneasy feeling and when
I saw it, it was coming at

155
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:46.960
me. It wasn't just like,
oh, what's that over there. And

156
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:50.159
the one thing is we had this
conversation last week, and I think it's

157
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:54.399
one that we need to keep having
because you've got to realize that it's not

158
00:13:54.519 --> 00:14:01.159
like when you report a bigfoot today, where I have four hundred million pictures

159
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:05.080
I could look at or I could
make AI think that it is. These

160
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:09.080
people in seventy three, nineteen sixties, nineteen fifties, they had no clue

161
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:13.080
what that was. You know.
They were out in the woods with guns

162
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:20.399
for various reasons, you know.
And the thing was is that like they

163
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:22.360
saw these things, and they were
like half of them didn't say anything,

164
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:26.279
and the other half that did say
stuff, they were like they all had

165
00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:31.360
the same story, but they had
no references like we have today. So

166
00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:37.240
and even the video points out goes, nobody's stupid enough to put on some

167
00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:43.840
monkey hair and go out there because
we were shooting. Yeah, well,

168
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:48.639
there was a report of that that
came out of Murphy's Burrow that no one

169
00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:56.120
of the researchers said he knew an
individual that was perpetrating this hoax by wearing

170
00:14:56.279 --> 00:15:03.639
a suit. But again everybody there
was armed. I don't know what kind

171
00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:09.279
of suicidal point you would want to
take yourself to to put on a suit

172
00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:13.879
to be a hoaxer and then take
the chance of being shot and killed,

173
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:20.519
unless you were suicidal. I don't
know, but the suit idea bothers me

174
00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:24.639
because there's no reference to, oh
hey, it's got to look this like

175
00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:28.720
this or that that. It's not
like today where we could make a patty

176
00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:31.480
suit. Being Henry in the backyard
could whip one out because we have enough

177
00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:37.200
information in a hobby lobby. Okay, it isn't back it isn't. It

178
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:41.279
isn't back then, where you know
they you know, they they didn't do

179
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:46.200
those kinds of things because you know, they even hit the resources then,

180
00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:52.200
and also they had more brains than
that because they were like, I'm not

181
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:54.240
going to dress like a bear during
bear season. I'm not going to dress

182
00:15:54.279 --> 00:16:00.480
like furry animal during deer season.
You know that's how Chuck got killed because

183
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:07.159
he wasn't wearing enough orange. What
existed in nineteen seventy Yeah, you know,

184
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:11.159
well go ahead and sorry, I
want to hear. Yeah, no,

185
00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:18.120
only do we have a guy wearing
a suit. They also explaining that

186
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:26.440
someone had set up a loud speaker
out there with broadcasting supposed vocalizations. You

187
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:29.200
know what's funny about that? Henry, and I'm just going to go off

188
00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:33.279
with a tangent here about that,
and Matt I've said this to you numerous

189
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:37.200
times about videos where there's a lot
of vocalizations. I think nine times out

190
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:40.799
of ten. Today, when we
get a lot of these vocalizations that sound

191
00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:44.200
like they've been from somewhere else,
it's because they're being projected from behind the

192
00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:48.039
person with the cell phone. Yeah, I mean that that's happening more and

193
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:51.080
more. But the fact that you
know, they accuse somebody of putting a

194
00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:52.759
loud speaker in the woods in the
seventies, to me, I don't know,

195
00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:56.759
that's just a little it's not outside
the realm. But it ain't as

196
00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:00.919
easy to do today then it is
today. Either you have to be committed

197
00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:06.079
to pull that hoax off. At
that point, you need a power supply

198
00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:08.640
of that, Yeah, a hell
of a power supply. Yeah. Power

199
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:14.720
then, But you and I prove
that on my land, like we we

200
00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:17.559
hear where it's coming from, but
then when I located it is and where

201
00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:22.319
I thought it was, right,
you know, that's a good point.

202
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:26.880
No, no, not at all, And that's a that's a great point.

203
00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:33.200
It's very hard for us to pinpoint
where vocalization or or where where noise

204
00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:36.920
is coming from, you know,
unless you have three people there that you

205
00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:41.519
can actually go in and try to
triangulate. But again, when you're out

206
00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:45.079
in the woods, if you're trying
to put a loud speaker up back in

207
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:53.039
the nineteen seventies, you would need
a basically a military grade diesel generator unless

208
00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:57.720
you had unless you had a power
source there. But when like you know,

209
00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:03.759
we were up in pot County over
this past weekend, there's no power

210
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:08.559
lines, there's no electric and even
now, you know, basically the quietest

211
00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:15.599
thing I might be able to run
is solar or if I actually had a

212
00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:21.200
regular power pact. That technology was
not available in nineteen seventy three. So

213
00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:26.240
for people to go out there and
say again, unless it's near town and

214
00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:32.039
they can there's a garage or a
burn or something that they could hook into

215
00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:34.720
the electric, I can see that. But if it's out in the middle

216
00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:40.279
of the of the Shawnee National Forest, it's it's not going to happen.

217
00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:45.000
History when did they start making the
bullhorn? H That's a good point.

218
00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:48.640
That's the only thing I could think
of is either like east or a radio

219
00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:52.440
check. We saw those big recorders
that took seat batteries that are a bullhorn.

220
00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:57.559
But at the same time, is
too many people would know? Yes,

221
00:18:57.680 --> 00:19:06.799
yeah, audio audio a bullhorn has
a specific tone to it. You

222
00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:11.200
would be able to know whether it's
somebody knowing, you know, without that

223
00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:18.759
amplification, or somebody using the bullhorn. And again we're talking about loud,

224
00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:26.160
loud vocalization, so the bullhorn.
I automatically took that out because that's not

225
00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:30.640
going to be able to have that
far reaching effect as something that would be

226
00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:36.079
similar to maybe like a fire a
whistle that you that you see in talents.

227
00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:40.799
M h. Now, there was
a vocalization that Vance had found that

228
00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:42.279
you sent to me. Did you
put that in the news for tonight Vans?

229
00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:47.880
No? I did not. Okay, we had some questions about it,

230
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:52.400
and do you still have it?
No, not available immediately you sent

231
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:56.079
it to me. I'll see if
I can upload it and play. Yeah,

232
00:19:56.119 --> 00:20:00.359
we can do that, because I
know I had reservations about playing it

233
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:03.960
because here's the deal. I don't
like to play stuff that's bullshit. Even

234
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:07.720
though ninety eight percent of the vocalizations
we play on the show could eventually be

235
00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:12.240
determined to be bullshit. One day
I do it was described as was the

236
00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:19.720
only known vocalization of big muddy at
the time. So I can't discredit it

237
00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:23.440
at the time because I don't know
who was out there recording it on an

238
00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:30.240
analog recorder. We don't have enough
data, right, I will bring up

239
00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:34.480
a couple of points before we end
up going to break that I find rather

240
00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:41.400
interesting. Now, from Murphy'sboro,
Illinois, if you go less than two

241
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:52.400
hundred miles directly north, you come
to the Coal Hollow Road monster reports at

242
00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:56.839
the same time, and there's over
two hundred reports of the Coal Hollow Monster

243
00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:03.920
of the same description and light hair
colored and mud covered in the same time

244
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:08.839
period. But yet this is just
less than two hundred miles north of Murphy's

245
00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:15.160
Borough. And with those reports,
I've gone down there, I investigated.

246
00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:19.119
I spoke to a researcher that took
me to the area. He toured me,

247
00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:25.079
he gave me the history of what
was seen there, very similar to

248
00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:30.319
what happened in Murphy's Borough. But
now if you go west, just directly

249
00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:37.240
southwest, you come into one hundred
and fifty miles from that point, you

250
00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:45.079
come into where Momo was recorded at
the same time period, in the seventy

251
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:49.400
two to seventy three period of Momo. What's the name of the hill,

252
00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:57.039
Marzoul Hill. Yeah, all these
three, Now this makes a triangle.

253
00:21:57.839 --> 00:22:03.319
Okay, now I'm going back to
here we go with the whole triangle thing.

254
00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:07.039
Again. I don't know what to
make of it, but it all

255
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:11.839
happened in the same time period.
And the thing is with the Cole Hollow

256
00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:18.039
monster. The footprints that were photographed
and taken from that showed a three toed

257
00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:30.319
creature momo apparently from witnesses, had
three appendages on its hands. Is this

258
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:33.960
the same family that has just kind
of spread out or is this the same

259
00:22:34.039 --> 00:22:38.400
creature that's traveling, you know,
three hundred miles in the same region of

260
00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:45.920
Illinois and Missouri. So there's another
book about a question. But right there,

261
00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:48.720
there's another book out there from Daniel
Green that you can get called Far

262
00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:52.960
Out Shaggy Funky Monsters of what it
is History of Bigfoot in the seventies,

263
00:22:55.160 --> 00:23:00.400
and I think, folks again,
if you like compete, you know,

264
00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:06.400
compediums. Here you go one hundred
and eighty eight pages. The book's going

265
00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:11.319
for seventy five dollars right now on
Amazon. But yeah, you didn't get

266
00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:15.400
copies of it, I believe at
the International Cryptozoology Museum courtesy of Lauren Coleman.

267
00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:18.480
So don't jack up those prices,
Lauren, if I need to get

268
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:22.599
one. But I mean again,
I think it's it would you know,

269
00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:27.440
benefit folks to you know, find
these resources like the historical Bigfoot, the

270
00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:30.960
you know, we're putting the data
out there for as you can make up

271
00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:33.079
your own mind. But you can
get some more of this story in this

272
00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:37.599
rich history because some strange stuff.
Once again, what's going on in the

273
00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:41.960
seventies, And I can't you know, quantify that with one particular answer.

274
00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:48.279
I just want to map there.
I I just want to make your correlation

275
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:53.799
between what Vance was was talking about
with the sightings that occurred that year,

276
00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:59.279
all within a certain radius. When
I was up hunting this weekend, I

277
00:23:59.319 --> 00:24:03.519
was signed to a game commissioned officer
and we were talking about the Elk Kurt

278
00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:07.680
and about how they're they're moving throughout
Pennsylvania. The one thing he brought up

279
00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:15.160
was the elk movet They can move
up to forty miles a day, so

280
00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:18.519
we have, you know, we
have some distance. Another thing though,

281
00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:25.319
that I thought was really interesting and
it really kind of ties in with the

282
00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:30.920
Big Bunny monster is generally when they're
traveling, they're not going up on the

283
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:36.720
ridgetops, They're traveling along the creeks
in the rivers. So we have,

284
00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:41.599
you know, throughout that whole basin, you know, throughout the Mississippi and

285
00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:48.559
the Ohio River basin, we have
animals that are going to travel these creeks

286
00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:53.559
lending to you know, in you
know months, you know, maybe June

287
00:24:53.680 --> 00:25:00.920
through July, we may be down
in Missouri, in August through October up

288
00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:03.279
in you know, another part of
the country, you know, in that

289
00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:10.759
same stretch. But you can almost
put a put a map out and actually

290
00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:15.880
map where these where these things occurred, and it would fall in line with

291
00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:21.960
an animal's route of migration. All
right, No, I totally agree,

292
00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:27.440
because there is water tributaries between Peoria, Illinois and Murphy's Borough, and then

293
00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:34.680
you have the Mississippi River that takes
you close from Murphy'sboro up to where Momo

294
00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:41.799
was seen. So yeah, you
have that triangulation of water. It's I

295
00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:45.759
don't know, I don't know what
to make of it other than the fact

296
00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:49.440
that this is a fantastic mystery.
Is it the same creature or is it

297
00:25:49.480 --> 00:25:56.400
the same family of creature? We'll
find out. Right after this, we're

298
00:25:56.400 --> 00:25:59.400
going to take a break and go
to the big footballborn smoke them if you

299
00:25:59.440 --> 00:26:02.599
got them, folks, we'll be
back in six minutes and fifty nine seconds.

300
00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:14.680
Testeve a symbol. Ah, yes, it is another fine addition.

301
00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:18.400
Could I say fine, I meant
average. We could change it to fancy,

302
00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:22.880
you know, like your ketchup says
fancy, fancy ketchup? What is

303
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:32.039
that a fancy ketchup? Another fine
addition, average edition or fancy edition of

304
00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:38.119
the Big Distraction Bigfoot Bullhorn, exclusively
on the Sasquatch experience. I hope you

305
00:26:38.279 --> 00:26:45.960
all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and a
nice weekend to relax and recover. Show

306
00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:49.440
a hands, how many still have
leftovers in the refrigerator? Or did you

307
00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:52.839
take him out and put him on
the back porch and habit you at a

308
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:59.720
bigfoot? The need Thanksgiving to you
know, But I digress. I became

309
00:26:59.720 --> 00:27:04.440
a US an article from Smithsonian magazine. Yes, I fancy magazine in my

310
00:27:04.599 --> 00:27:11.319
fancy house, and this is kind
of an interesting article. Scientists created a

311
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:19.079
monkey with two different sets of DNA. So called chimeric monkeys could help scientists

312
00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:26.759
understand human diseases and aid in conversation
efforts. But the research raises ethical questions.

313
00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:30.839
You know, we have a friend, Maz Adams, who was into

314
00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:34.680
the whole Planet of the Apes franchise. You would think maybe science should take

315
00:27:34.680 --> 00:27:38.720
a look at these movies, going
what are we doing here? The Rise

316
00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:42.480
of Caesar and the next thing,
you know, will be the subspecies,

317
00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:48.839
just like science is digging up these
viruses that have been frozen in the permafrost

318
00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:52.519
for thousands and thousands of years in
the Antarctica. Oh, let's revive these

319
00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:56.839
viruses. They're dangerous, They're frozen
for a reason. But again, I

320
00:27:57.000 --> 00:28:03.000
digress. Now have created a monkey
with two different sets of DNA by injecting

321
00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:08.160
stem cells from one monkey embryo into
another of the same species. This method

322
00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:12.440
has been used in ransom mice before, but the recent feet marks the first

323
00:28:12.440 --> 00:28:18.400
time ever that it has been successful
in another animal, including primates. Scientists

324
00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:23.680
say the breakthrough could help with medical
research in the future. This is a

325
00:28:23.799 --> 00:28:30.480
long sought goal in the field.
Zen Lu of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

326
00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:34.400
Oh yeah, because nothing bad has
ever come out of China. According

327
00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:40.200
to a statement, this work could
help us generate more precise monkey models for

328
00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:45.759
studying neurological diseases as well as for
other biomedicine studies. Yeah, I'm going

329
00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:49.279
to offer you a big bag of
nopes on this now. To create the

330
00:28:49.319 --> 00:28:55.920
monkey chimera, Lou and his colleagues
removed stem cells from seven day old embryos

331
00:28:56.039 --> 00:29:00.400
of long tailed macaques. Yes is
it ruh? When are you looking at

332
00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:07.000
macox? They labeled these with green
fluorescent proteins so that any tissue the cells

333
00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:14.839
created in the chimeric monkey could be
visually identified later. However, the monkey

334
00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:19.519
had to be euthanized after ten days
due to breathing issues and hypothermia, which

335
00:29:19.559 --> 00:29:26.799
some scientists say highlights ethical concerns in
this type of research. According to carrissult

336
00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:33.920
Wong be white, Miss Wong.
When we come back, Let's see what

337
00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:44.160
Tennessee has in store for us for
next year. You're listening to the Sasquatch

338
00:29:44.200 --> 00:29:59.200
Experience. This portion of the show
is being brought to you by Honest Ed's

339
00:29:59.319 --> 00:30:03.519
Used Cards is where every car we
sell is back by an ironclad guarantee that

340
00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:07.359
is so complete and comprehensive that we
really don't see any need to put it

341
00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:11.960
in writing And remember honest Ed's motto. If any used car dealer anywhere in

342
00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:14.960
the country says he can sell you
the same car cheaper than we will,

343
00:30:15.400 --> 00:30:18.279
then he's even a bigger liar than
I am. And remember, if you'd

344
00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:22.400
like to learn one of life's most
valuable secrets, just send twenty dollars to

345
00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:26.160
the announcer in care of this station, and by return mail you'll receive your

346
00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:30.880
very own copy of the exciting one
and a half page book entitled Why you

347
00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:33.640
should never send some guy twenty bucks
just because he asks you to. Over

348
00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:38.119
the radio. All over Miami they
are shaving their heads. I'm shaving my

349
00:30:38.319 --> 00:30:42.400
head. Who want the entire Channel
sixty wen area? They are shaving their

350
00:30:42.440 --> 00:30:47.480
heads. I'm shaving my head.
They're going for the Jean Luke look.

351
00:30:47.559 --> 00:30:52.799
We're shaving our dad, my Captain
John luc Picar, the bold bald head

352
00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:56.480
of Star Trek The Next Generation weekdays
and four on Channel six. Get the

353
00:30:56.559 --> 00:31:02.519
look. I'm shaving, guy John
Luke look on Star Trek the Next Generation

354
00:31:02.759 --> 00:31:21.319
weekdays at four on Channel six.
So what does Tennessee have to offer other

355
00:31:21.400 --> 00:31:26.480
than bigfoot, black bears and dead
Elvis. Well, they happen to offer

356
00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:33.759
the twenty twenty four announcement of Smoking
Mountain Bigfoot Festival. Get your calendar's,

357
00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:37.200
kids and mark it down. Even
though it's off in the future, I

358
00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:41.680
don't think it's too soon. It's
on May fourth, twenty twenty four,

359
00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:48.039
running from ten am to six pm
on the fourth May the fourth be with

360
00:31:48.119 --> 00:31:51.359
you get it? Yeah? I
know, but it is quite possibly the

361
00:31:51.400 --> 00:31:56.599
single most important event of the twenty
twenty four calendar year. Don't stop believing.

362
00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:04.200
This fourth annual event will feature Bigfoot
competitions, guest speakers, live music,

363
00:32:04.480 --> 00:32:07.480
vendors, food trucks, and other
great surprises that you won't want to

364
00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:12.680
miss. Now, if you're writing
this down on your calendar, here's the

365
00:32:12.720 --> 00:32:20.200
address seventy nine oh six East Lamar
Alexander Parkway, and that's located in Townsend,

366
00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:24.359
Tennessee. Oh you need the ZIP
code three seven eight A two,

367
00:32:24.599 --> 00:32:30.640
which happens to be located in the
United States. Thanks again for listening to

368
00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:37.079
this edition of the Big Distraction Bigfoot
Bullhorn exclusively on the Sasquatch experience, and

369
00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:54.160
until next time, if it's not
snow and keep your toes in the mud.

370
00:32:54.960 --> 00:33:00.759
Well thanks Mance for that marvelous bigfoot
bullhorn. Your humor is insular,

371
00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:07.279
but we appreciate you. Nonetheless,
I appreciate it. So while we were

372
00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:10.000
on break, I did load up
that audio. If you guys wanted to

373
00:33:10.039 --> 00:33:14.839
take a get listen to that?
Do you have? Yeah? Yeah,

374
00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:20.319
all right, here we go.
This is called the Big Muddy Monster Murphy's

375
00:33:20.359 --> 00:33:55.920
Burrow sound file, so called.
What is that machinery sound in the back?

376
00:33:57.440 --> 00:34:00.920
Who knows? I have? I'm
goin to think that that's the recorder

377
00:34:01.559 --> 00:34:07.320
because back then we had the tape
recorders and and you would yeah, essentially,

378
00:34:07.360 --> 00:34:14.199
Yes, Matt is spot on with
that assessment right there. I agree

379
00:34:14.280 --> 00:34:19.599
that background noise is probably the recorder, But that that sounds interesting, like

380
00:34:20.079 --> 00:34:22.559
is it is it beyond the realm
of a person being able to make that

381
00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:30.000
no I think, you know,
we could you know, you know what

382
00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:34.800
I mean, if we really tried
to. You know, some of you

383
00:34:34.920 --> 00:34:38.199
never heard Baker after a taco bell
breakfast, like it could be trust that

384
00:34:38.199 --> 00:34:44.440
far. It could be. I
mean, it could be replicated. But

385
00:34:44.559 --> 00:34:47.800
it's interesting. Nonetheless, though considering
the time it was taken, and again,

386
00:34:47.880 --> 00:34:53.480
think about this though, think about
a consideration, guys, the time

387
00:34:53.760 --> 00:34:59.840
upon which these these were recorded,
right, They didn't have a lot to

388
00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:06.119
base things off of. M No, so the likelihood of it being a

389
00:35:06.159 --> 00:35:12.039
hoax today maybe more likely, But
back then I'm a little skeptical about that

390
00:35:12.239 --> 00:35:15.559
though. I don't have enough detail
about the incident upon which those sound recordings

391
00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:22.760
were taken, all right, And
that was only one file, Sean,

392
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:30.840
that was only one file that was
labeled as the only known recording of Big

393
00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:36.679
Muddy, So you know, how
was recorded, what it was recorded on,

394
00:35:37.239 --> 00:35:40.760
those details are not given at the
time, but we'll just leave it

395
00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:46.599
lay as what it is. That
yeah, because that recording had been generated

396
00:35:46.719 --> 00:35:52.880
years ago and then it was you
know, uploaded again on a YouTube file.

397
00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:59.480
But that's an older recording. So
I can't say, yeah, that

398
00:35:59.679 --> 00:36:04.000
is what it is, and nor
can you or anybody else here. But

399
00:36:04.760 --> 00:36:08.800
it is interesting to the fact that
it is stated that this is the only

400
00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:14.679
known recording of Big Money. We'll
play that one more time here for folks

401
00:36:14.719 --> 00:36:51.159
that might just be joining us again
from the break. There's that file for

402
00:36:51.199 --> 00:36:54.119
you, folks if you're just joining
us. So I don't know either way.

403
00:36:54.320 --> 00:37:02.440
There's a serious lung capacity there,
I stop. There is some serious

404
00:37:02.559 --> 00:37:07.559
lung capacity, and with all the
recordings that we've heard from you know,

405
00:37:08.079 --> 00:37:14.599
all points of the United States and
around the world, it's the lung capacity

406
00:37:14.719 --> 00:37:20.559
and the roar that you do here
is very overwhelming for a person to try

407
00:37:20.599 --> 00:37:25.280
to replicate that, even if they
were using modified amplifiers of some sort,

408
00:37:25.960 --> 00:37:30.039
I don't think you would be able
to tell the difference between an amplified voice

409
00:37:30.519 --> 00:37:36.119
and that that's captured out in the
wild. I think, especially then at

410
00:37:36.119 --> 00:37:39.920
that time, you would. But
what's interesting about these vocalizations is from the

411
00:37:39.920 --> 00:37:44.360
onset of those folks that were out
there, you know, romping by the

412
00:37:44.440 --> 00:37:50.360
river and they're approached by Big Muddy, you know, they notate the sound,

413
00:37:50.559 --> 00:37:53.880
right, the roar from this thing. And then as the police officers

414
00:37:54.119 --> 00:37:57.840
and need them, the guys,
the witnesses, last name was, need

415
00:37:57.920 --> 00:38:01.599
them as they're following, you know, the trails of this creature one hundred

416
00:38:01.679 --> 00:38:05.800
yards away out of the woods,
comes that same sound, and need them

417
00:38:06.000 --> 00:38:09.559
instantaneously recognizes that sound. Is that's
the same sound bitch that was down there,

418
00:38:09.599 --> 00:38:14.000
you know, breaking up minookie time. You know, like, so

419
00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:19.000
they're there, you know, it
was a distinct sound. It's not like

420
00:38:20.079 --> 00:38:23.519
again, we hear these sounds all
the time. We're a little desensitized to

421
00:38:23.559 --> 00:38:28.480
it. But put yourselves in that
position in that time frame. You're gonna

422
00:38:28.519 --> 00:38:30.719
hear that sound once and some bitch, you're gonna hear it again. It's

423
00:38:30.719 --> 00:38:35.719
gonna resonate with you. You know
it's gonna stick right. No, that's

424
00:38:35.719 --> 00:38:39.559
a very good point. And again, what the capacity and the volume,

425
00:38:40.199 --> 00:38:45.519
Even if that's recorded on a you
know, a cassette tape at the time,

426
00:38:45.280 --> 00:38:50.719
which would have been the probably the
most popular way of recording at that

427
00:38:50.920 --> 00:38:57.719
time. Hence the Sierra Sounds,
the volume that seems to come across on

428
00:38:57.800 --> 00:39:02.400
that microphone is sewing intense. It's
like, what kind of effort are you

429
00:39:02.480 --> 00:39:07.239
going to put into it to try
to hoax something like this? I don't

430
00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:12.920
know, I don't know. I
know the people of the area, and

431
00:39:13.360 --> 00:39:19.719
it seems that that would not have
been the mainstream choice at the time,

432
00:39:20.360 --> 00:39:24.639
especially in the seventies. I think
they would have captured whatever they captured and

433
00:39:24.679 --> 00:39:32.079
would have either kept it and transposed
it to the public in the two thousands

434
00:39:32.440 --> 00:39:38.079
and say hey, I captured this
back in the nineteen seventies on my cassette

435
00:39:38.159 --> 00:39:43.239
tape or am I reel to reel, even though people didn't bring real to

436
00:39:43.280 --> 00:39:45.840
reel with them at the time.
It was a cassette recorder at the time,

437
00:39:46.079 --> 00:39:53.960
but you can still hear the intense
volume. So fair enough, Henry

438
00:39:54.079 --> 00:39:59.119
again, Yeah, Henry, when
we were going to go in there,

439
00:39:59.159 --> 00:40:01.719
you wanted to make a point about
the coloration, and Baker touched on it

440
00:40:01.840 --> 00:40:07.199
just briefly, but you wanted to
talk about the rarity of it being a

441
00:40:07.239 --> 00:40:15.000
white hominid. Yeah, it's not
very common to hear about white sassquatch being

442
00:40:15.159 --> 00:40:19.559
seen, but what I saw in
nineteen ninety eight was a dirty white color.

443
00:40:20.320 --> 00:40:22.880
But you don't hear about it very
often. The fact, in John

444
00:40:22.920 --> 00:40:29.840
Green's files, I think only about
eight ten percent what was in his files

445
00:40:30.119 --> 00:40:36.079
is white colored individuals. What is
interesting, Henry, and we had talked

446
00:40:36.079 --> 00:40:38.840
about this in the past, is
that those of them that are lighter in

447
00:40:38.920 --> 00:40:45.079
color and the white color tend to
be more aggressive. They tend to display

448
00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:50.119
a more outward aggressive behavior in the
interactions that are notated, the one from

449
00:40:50.199 --> 00:40:54.719
nineteen seventy three, Lauren Coleman did
a sketch of it, and I've done

450
00:40:54.719 --> 00:40:58.000
a sketch of it, and others
have done a sketch of it where this

451
00:40:58.039 --> 00:41:00.880
thing grips its claws into the back
of a car, you know, kind

452
00:41:00.880 --> 00:41:05.679
of ripping the metal as it's going
after these folks, you know, indicating

453
00:41:05.719 --> 00:41:08.679
some strength and some you know,
you know, violent tendencies. But the

454
00:41:08.719 --> 00:41:14.559
creatures of the white coloration have a
tendency to be, at least in the

455
00:41:14.639 --> 00:41:16.079
reporting, is a little bit more
aggressive. And one would think they'd have

456
00:41:16.159 --> 00:41:19.880
to because, as Baker pointed out, you know, they're a lot more

457
00:41:19.960 --> 00:41:23.239
vulnerable to the surroundings that they're in. You know, things with the albinism

458
00:41:23.360 --> 00:41:28.719
or later color don't have a long
lifespan in the wild. They stick out

459
00:41:29.000 --> 00:41:32.079
there an aberration and they tend to
get picked off pretty quickly. You know.

460
00:41:32.199 --> 00:41:36.840
Think about that. And you know, if you're trying to be as

461
00:41:36.840 --> 00:41:40.320
elusive as possible, you know,
being a big, white, seven foot

462
00:41:40.440 --> 00:41:45.440
tall, three hundred plus pound creature
is going to help that. But if

463
00:41:45.480 --> 00:41:52.039
you look at it in the human
aspect, I think seniors and senior citizen

464
00:41:52.360 --> 00:42:00.280
to be more specific, can be
more aggressive to protect their domain of my

465
00:42:00.719 --> 00:42:07.639
exactly. And I'm not saying,
you know because for some reason, you

466
00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:15.239
know, over the years, YETI
is referred to, Oh, the culture

467
00:42:15.280 --> 00:42:20.000
has turned the yetti into a white
hair colored creature. I don't think that's

468
00:42:20.039 --> 00:42:23.760
what the case is. I think
the white hair colored creature may be either

469
00:42:23.840 --> 00:42:30.159
one of two things, either an
elder that is very agitated or it's an

470
00:42:30.159 --> 00:42:36.639
albino. Well, albinoism is kind
of a more of a rare aspect in

471
00:42:36.679 --> 00:42:40.679
the animal kingdom and does not seem
to happen. But if you have an

472
00:42:40.719 --> 00:42:47.400
elder that is gray in color from
age, it can be more aggressive to

473
00:42:47.599 --> 00:42:53.800
just be left alone, and if
you're within its confines, it may step

474
00:42:53.960 --> 00:42:57.960
up and say, no, I'm
not having anything to do with you,

475
00:42:58.719 --> 00:43:01.039
leave me alone. When you're trying
to you know, we're trying to correlate

476
00:43:01.079 --> 00:43:05.880
some behavior to you know, physical
attribute to the creature. If you're joining

477
00:43:05.960 --> 00:43:10.039
us with the human nature right right, the reality is we just don't know.

478
00:43:10.119 --> 00:43:13.519
We're you know, grasping for straws
here. But I mean it's the

479
00:43:13.559 --> 00:43:16.480
straws that we could grasp it again
with. Another interesting note is through the

480
00:43:16.519 --> 00:43:22.079
files of the Big Muddy Monster,
the University of Chicago Department of Biology,

481
00:43:22.519 --> 00:43:25.920
Lee Van Vanalen, the associate professor, writes, dear mister Berger, who

482
00:43:25.960 --> 00:43:30.320
was the chief of Police of Murphysboro, Illinois as of November twelfth, nineteen

483
00:43:30.360 --> 00:43:35.119
seventy three. I have recently heard
of your creature, which could be of

484
00:43:35.199 --> 00:43:38.519
considerable scientific interest. There have been
many reports of such animals, but no

485
00:43:38.599 --> 00:43:44.360
real specimens have ever been available for
scientific study. The reports are often thought

486
00:43:44.400 --> 00:43:46.559
to be due to bears, men
living wild in the woods, hoaxes,

487
00:43:46.559 --> 00:43:51.679
and the like. Therefore, the
very existence of such a creature is questionable,

488
00:43:51.760 --> 00:43:53.800
and its relationships to other animals would
be of some interest. If it

489
00:43:53.840 --> 00:43:58.760
is real, the creature is shot, it is important that it not be

490
00:43:58.880 --> 00:44:01.760
buried unless it's a man of course, discarded or given to sensation seekers.

491
00:44:02.239 --> 00:44:07.559
It should be embalmed or otherwise preserved
in good condition. It would be preferable

492
00:44:07.559 --> 00:44:10.480
for the undertaker to ship it to
me or some other refutable scientists, because

493
00:44:10.480 --> 00:44:15.719
it's study will need laboratory equipment and
other materials. But if this cannot be

494
00:44:15.800 --> 00:44:19.920
done, I will come myself and
arrange matters. I guarantee payment of such

495
00:44:19.960 --> 00:44:23.480
expenses involved in making a real specimen
available for scientific study. Sincerely, Yours,

496
00:44:23.559 --> 00:44:30.679
Leavan Valalin, Associate Professor. So
you have a legitimate university writing a

497
00:44:30.760 --> 00:44:34.199
letter to the chief of police saying, you know what you get the son

498
00:44:34.239 --> 00:44:37.559
of a bitch, We're going to
come collect it for you, right,

499
00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:45.519
and that you know that kind of
that's impactful for a lot of reasons because

500
00:44:45.519 --> 00:44:49.239
at that time a lot of institutions
weren't taking it seriously. Right, But

501
00:44:49.360 --> 00:44:52.599
you have one professor out there,
and you know, we should find out

502
00:44:52.599 --> 00:44:58.320
what happened to doctor Lee van Valen
and see if they ever, you know,

503
00:44:58.400 --> 00:45:04.800
stayed in the peripheral of the research. Well Officer man Warning, who

504
00:45:05.119 --> 00:45:10.559
was on call and on duty at
the time and had taken the top lead

505
00:45:10.719 --> 00:45:16.519
on the research. Matt, you're
be more in tune with what that type

506
00:45:16.559 --> 00:45:22.159
of rank would be called. But
he was the one that was called to

507
00:45:22.199 --> 00:45:29.159
investigate this, and Man Warning had
made a couple of comments to the fact

508
00:45:29.159 --> 00:45:35.480
that when he went out and researched, he did come across some creepy evidence

509
00:45:35.599 --> 00:45:40.559
of slime and hair on the trees
following the trail where the thing was seen

510
00:45:42.119 --> 00:45:46.079
by a couple of teenagers sitting on
their back porch when this first happened with

511
00:45:46.159 --> 00:45:50.440
Big Muddy, and they saw it
on the tree line, and of course

512
00:45:50.480 --> 00:45:53.480
they freaked out and they called the
police and man warning had come out there

513
00:45:53.519 --> 00:45:59.880
and he had followed with flashlights.
Now back then they didn't have the LED

514
00:46:00.159 --> 00:46:06.559
flashlights. They just add standard battery
incandescent flashlights. But he did come across

515
00:46:06.719 --> 00:46:10.960
evidence on the trees of a slime
and a horrible smell and some hair.

516
00:46:12.719 --> 00:46:20.800
You know, that may all lead
back to a very relevant case to say,

517
00:46:21.000 --> 00:46:27.280
well maybe there is something here.
I agree. And you know,

518
00:46:27.719 --> 00:46:32.159
it's funny because when I was looking
at the information about the slime, most

519
00:46:32.159 --> 00:46:36.960
of us are going to say slime. You know, it could be anything.

520
00:46:37.039 --> 00:46:40.920
It could be mucus, it could
be whatever sort of bodily exertion.

521
00:46:42.119 --> 00:46:46.400
But one thing that it kind of
perplexes me a little bit about this is

522
00:46:46.559 --> 00:46:52.199
maybe it's not so much slime as
much as maybe like a wax or because

523
00:46:53.239 --> 00:47:00.760
we've heard so much about oils that
are being emitted in sometimes it's a little

524
00:47:00.760 --> 00:47:06.119
more with these unknown creatures and the
name of it. Doug was talking about

525
00:47:06.119 --> 00:47:10.679
it. Yes, yeah, no, yeah, yeah, I can't.

526
00:47:12.000 --> 00:47:16.239
I've been offered last week. Saw
my mind's kind of not in uh work

527
00:47:16.320 --> 00:47:21.639
mode right now. But but again, we do have humans to secrete this.

528
00:47:22.400 --> 00:47:25.760
But it seems that it's more secreted, you know, from these creatures,

529
00:47:27.000 --> 00:47:30.679
which is similar to what I'll go
back to small town monsters. When

530
00:47:31.000 --> 00:47:36.920
yes up at the uh up at
the Alaska Dark Alaska and when they had

531
00:47:36.960 --> 00:47:40.840
the handprint that that was up on
the on the side of the cabin and

532
00:47:42.000 --> 00:47:45.719
they were able to actually collect that. Now it could be maybe rather than

533
00:47:45.800 --> 00:47:51.519
slime, it's more of like a
waxy type substance. But but neither here

534
00:47:51.559 --> 00:47:57.599
nor there. What what really surprised
me was how they how that department actually

535
00:47:57.679 --> 00:48:02.519
handled this. They handled it respect
and I'll give a lot of credit to

536
00:48:02.599 --> 00:48:07.480
Murphy Spurrow and even today, well
I can't say today, but I'll go

537
00:48:07.559 --> 00:48:10.880
to like Whitehall, New York,
whoa, whoa, the way that their

538
00:48:10.920 --> 00:48:20.559
officers handled that. So anyways,
but that's my two cents about you know,

539
00:48:20.639 --> 00:48:23.760
Murphy Spurrow did a fantastic job.
They may not have had a full

540
00:48:23.760 --> 00:48:29.280
time investigator, so it may have
been a patrolman or corporal, a sergeant

541
00:48:29.280 --> 00:48:32.920
that was assigned to do the follow
ups. But again, you know,

542
00:48:34.039 --> 00:48:38.199
I think they handled handled themselves as
best they could in nineteen seventy three.

543
00:48:39.199 --> 00:48:45.000
Well, and consider the fact that
if you get a report, especially in

544
00:48:45.039 --> 00:48:51.199
that timeframe and the police department gets
through. They don't have a protocol set

545
00:48:51.320 --> 00:48:54.760
up on how to deal with this. They didn't. All they could do

546
00:48:55.039 --> 00:48:59.519
is the best that they could with
what they had at the time, and

547
00:48:59.559 --> 00:49:04.960
they would either audio or handwrite their
report. Correct. That's the best that

548
00:49:05.000 --> 00:49:09.920
they had it because they weren't expecting
any of this. Correct. And and

549
00:49:10.000 --> 00:49:16.679
again, what is the even now? What's the protocol for even with someone

550
00:49:16.760 --> 00:49:22.320
like PSP or any of the other
state agencies, they don't have a protocol.

551
00:49:22.719 --> 00:49:25.079
You know, maybe the only one
that might would be Washington or Oregon.

552
00:49:25.320 --> 00:49:29.000
You know, I'm sure that maybe
there's some sort of you know,

553
00:49:30.199 --> 00:49:35.239
protocol that they would have, But
as for any other states, I I'm

554
00:49:35.239 --> 00:49:38.039
not aware of any. No,
we were a perplextion when we had the

555
00:49:38.599 --> 00:49:44.880
monkeys escape from the from that truck
accident last year, so very much so.

556
00:49:45.360 --> 00:49:50.159
Yes, Or the minx that are
still people because they're still absolutely not

557
00:49:50.199 --> 00:49:57.000
the minx to people. Yes,
But wouldn't that fall under like like fishing

558
00:49:57.039 --> 00:50:00.480
and game and animal control. I
mean you would think they're might be some

559
00:50:00.639 --> 00:50:06.440
side like they don't call it sasquatch
protocol, they call it large animal protocol

560
00:50:07.000 --> 00:50:08.239
like you would think that, you
know, because the government a lot of

561
00:50:08.239 --> 00:50:13.760
times will do things that are so
obvious they just hide the name so you

562
00:50:13.760 --> 00:50:16.000
don't notice it right away. Yeah, you know what I mean. Ye

563
00:50:17.239 --> 00:50:22.239
w Morgan described what they do in
Ohio, at least in one county Ohio.

564
00:50:22.360 --> 00:50:27.719
They say the black cows are out
again. That's their polar call name

565
00:50:27.920 --> 00:50:35.159
for sasquatch signings. You gotta be
careful of those black cows. An incident,

566
00:50:36.159 --> 00:50:39.559
that's what we did. The officer
that had a pattern of black cow

567
00:50:39.679 --> 00:50:51.920
assassination. And there it is not
untrue, not untrue. We digress sometimes,

568
00:50:51.960 --> 00:50:54.440
but you know, to Matt's point, I do have to give some

569
00:50:54.719 --> 00:50:59.639
you know, accommendation to the Murphysboro
Police Department because they did handle this from

570
00:50:59.679 --> 00:51:04.800
the begin very well, very smartly, very seriously, and probably the example

571
00:51:04.840 --> 00:51:07.760
of how police departments really should take
this, you know, seriously. And

572
00:51:07.800 --> 00:51:12.440
they did a fantastic job. Even
the reports are written not tongue in cheek,

573
00:51:13.119 --> 00:51:15.760
written as a regular police report,
as if it was being reported as

574
00:51:15.800 --> 00:51:20.440
a crime or an incident. And
you can go to that website that Baker

575
00:51:20.519 --> 00:51:22.880
posted in the chat earlier. I'll
have it in the show notes, so

576
00:51:22.960 --> 00:51:25.400
you can, if you're listening to
this in the podcast form, you can

577
00:51:25.440 --> 00:51:30.159
go back and visit those files because
they're just really see and they're also in

578
00:51:30.199 --> 00:51:35.320
that files or letters that were written
to the chief from all over the country,

579
00:51:35.400 --> 00:51:39.119
all over the world, people sending
in their questions or sending in their

580
00:51:39.119 --> 00:51:44.280
insights, and they were all compiled
and put into that file that Murphy's Burrow

581
00:51:44.679 --> 00:51:46.400
just puts out on the internet.
You know, they're proud of this creature.

582
00:51:46.440 --> 00:51:52.360
There's a festival that happens. They
have embraced this like other small towns

583
00:51:52.400 --> 00:51:57.679
across the country have embraced their weirdness. And that all came about from the

584
00:51:57.760 --> 00:52:04.440
fact that Murphy's Burrow. According to
Officer man Warning said, that was the

585
00:52:04.840 --> 00:52:10.719
most requested police reports that they have
ever had in any of their cases that

586
00:52:10.760 --> 00:52:17.480
they've had, you know, regarding
criminal cases and accident cases. This is

587
00:52:17.519 --> 00:52:23.199
the most requested case that they have
had from all over the country, from

588
00:52:23.360 --> 00:52:29.320
California to New York. It's got
wide appeal. They've been barraged with,

589
00:52:29.599 --> 00:52:32.039
you know, requests for this report. Think about this, if you were

590
00:52:32.079 --> 00:52:38.519
a teacher and you were trying to
educate students about cryptozoology, and you had

591
00:52:38.519 --> 00:52:45.320
this great mystery report that happened relatively
PG nothing you know, out of the

592
00:52:45.440 --> 00:52:51.159
ordinary or incessively violent. It's a
great case to share with students, it

593
00:52:51.320 --> 00:52:55.400
really is. And I mean it's
a great you know, the documentaries they

594
00:52:55.400 --> 00:52:59.960
made about it have been very good, so it's not like it's not an

595
00:53:00.199 --> 00:53:02.440
interesting story. So I can see
why it has a lot of appeal to

596
00:53:02.519 --> 00:53:06.480
it. Plus the freaks like us, we're worse than the true crime nuts

597
00:53:07.639 --> 00:53:12.119
if you watch the video. One
thing I did notice, and a lot

598
00:53:12.159 --> 00:53:15.760
of the witnesses said, or the
or the descendants of witnesses and things like

599
00:53:15.760 --> 00:53:20.760
that, they said the town wouldn't
put up with them doing it half ass.

600
00:53:21.280 --> 00:53:24.039
They didn't want anybody being a grifter
or anything like that. They weren't

601
00:53:24.039 --> 00:53:28.280
going to be made fun of.
So if the police were going to file

602
00:53:28.360 --> 00:53:30.679
reports, they were going to make
them accurate. So in a way,

603
00:53:30.599 --> 00:53:36.079
it was it was actually there was
like a spotlight on those police officers to

604
00:53:36.199 --> 00:53:39.079
do it right, because the town
itself wasn't going to be made fun of.

605
00:53:39.719 --> 00:53:45.599
MM. You know a copy,
all right, pick up a copy

606
00:53:45.639 --> 00:53:53.000
of The Big Money Monster. That's
the book that's get yourself the documentary Big

607
00:53:53.039 --> 00:53:57.599
Money Creature, Big Money Book,
right, and and and go out and

608
00:53:57.639 --> 00:54:00.599
do some work with this. Folks, get yourself embraced it, enjoy it.

609
00:54:00.840 --> 00:54:06.239
And you know, we're just giving
you a quick overlay of the story

610
00:54:06.360 --> 00:54:10.159
because you know there's tons of information
out there. This book itself has some

611
00:54:10.199 --> 00:54:16.320
great historical you know, sy I'll
give you one here quick before we we

612
00:54:16.440 --> 00:54:22.159
roll off the air. Here of
Mercclesborough, Illinois, The Independent Standard from

613
00:54:22.159 --> 00:54:28.159
September thirty, nineteen forty two.
State police today presume the silver Monster had

614
00:54:28.239 --> 00:54:31.920
left Perry County, but we're not
certain he had been here at all.

615
00:54:32.199 --> 00:54:37.280
Tales of a monster marauding through Perry
County mirrors similar reports to SHT. Sheriff

616
00:54:37.599 --> 00:54:44.760
Henry Anderson Nashville that a seven foot
like creature was terrorizing Washington County last week.

617
00:54:44.840 --> 00:54:46.960
Please believe the monster to be an
escape circus or zoo ape. And

618
00:54:47.000 --> 00:54:52.119
there we go again. These damn
things get you know, read as gorillas

619
00:54:52.239 --> 00:54:57.760
or apes because guys, guess what, back up until that time, that's

620
00:54:57.800 --> 00:55:00.639
what they were. That kind of
starts of it to the point that Henry

621
00:55:00.639 --> 00:55:02.559
and I were trying to make earlier
and I think we went through it.

622
00:55:02.559 --> 00:55:07.639
That nineteen seventy three might have been
the first real story that kind of set

623
00:55:07.679 --> 00:55:12.039
off the excitement around it, but
it wasn't the first stories of a Muddy

624
00:55:12.440 --> 00:55:16.840
Muddy River monster, right, And
one story from nineteen seventy three was that

625
00:55:17.079 --> 00:55:22.559
a carnival worker it spotted one of
these inspired the creature watching these Shetland ponies

626
00:55:22.599 --> 00:55:30.199
as the carnivals creepy creepy carneys.
Yeah. Well again, and this ties

627
00:55:30.320 --> 00:55:36.920
into the you know, like I
brought up earlier, the Cole Hollow Road

628
00:55:37.239 --> 00:55:42.360
monster just south of Peoria, Illinois, with the same type of description,

629
00:55:43.440 --> 00:55:49.000
you know again, and then you'd
go one hundred one hundred and fifty miles

630
00:55:49.079 --> 00:55:55.280
southeast or I'm sorry, yeah,
southwest of that area and you come into

631
00:55:55.320 --> 00:56:05.599
Momo. I keep wanting to try
correlation. Are all of these three sightings

632
00:56:06.159 --> 00:56:10.679
related to each other as the same
individual or the same family. Well,

633
00:56:12.440 --> 00:56:15.599
the reports differ with Momo compared to
what they're seeing at Muddy River, But

634
00:56:16.159 --> 00:56:22.199
we're gonna have to We're gonna have
to explore that though. And I think

635
00:56:22.320 --> 00:56:24.840
because there's so many reports out there
in the Cole Hollow creature vans, we

636
00:56:24.880 --> 00:56:30.440
ought to do a show on that
too. But next week, next week,

637
00:56:30.480 --> 00:56:34.480
guys, we're going to be taking
a look into just you know,

638
00:56:34.559 --> 00:56:42.280
some Bigfoot supposition, Bigfoot after death. What do Bigfoot do with their dead?

639
00:56:42.360 --> 00:56:45.119
As one of the biggest questions has
been why have we not found a

640
00:56:45.159 --> 00:56:49.119
body? The five of us are
going to talk next week about different theories

641
00:56:49.159 --> 00:56:54.480
and different thoughts we have on what
happens to Bigfoot after they expire. And

642
00:56:54.599 --> 00:56:59.599
honestly, this report comes this report, this request came from one of our

643
00:56:59.599 --> 00:57:05.519
patrins On supporters, and so I
thank them personally for sending me the idea

644
00:57:05.599 --> 00:57:09.119
on this, and so this show
next week is for them. So folks,

645
00:57:09.159 --> 00:57:13.000
until next week. You know,
hey, guys, we forgot to

646
00:57:13.039 --> 00:57:15.280
